Vitamin C is an essential vitamin for good health and as a potent skincare ingredient, provides incredible skin benefits. Vitamin C stimulates the growth of collagen in the skin increasing suppleness, reducing fine lines, and improving skin elasticity. It provides superior antioxidant protection to neutralise and quench free radical damage and reduces oxidative stress on the skin. Vitamin C is skin brightening, inhibits melanogenesis to reduce hyper-pigmentation (allowing even skin tone), and can help in skin recovery to reduce redness either caused by sensitivity, overexposure to the sun or inflammatory skin disorders.
